Roger!  You are amazing!  Did you just come up with that jingle right
now!!!!  :D

Still driving!  In Redding now getting gas.  Checked the inner tank a
couple of times, and its holding fine now.  Thank goodness!  I am very
thankful it was not something serious!  It was scaring me, cause the water
was just disappearing!  I figured that the leak must be happening under
pressure.  Oh, and I am a good girl!  When ever I see flashing red lights
on the dash, I turn off the engine and pull over!!!  I have had VW's for
all of my adult life.  The Rastafalia has had many engines rebuilt and
replaced, so I have been thru a lot of issues!  Had him almost 17 years
now!  Not a mechanic, but mechanically inclined!  Grew up on a farm, and
McGyver is my hero!
